Is this a good one?

Against others of its kind
At $90 a day this sits a little under the $105 median for water & sailing. It is cheaper than 17 of the 24 water & sailing options mapped here.
Other things to learn in Egypt
2 other options in Egypt, starting with freediving at the blue hole in Dahab from $500.
When to go
Workable across 8 months of the year — Oct-May. Outside that the season is against you, not the school.

Most people give it 5 days, but the honest range is 3 to 10. That spread is wide because how far you take it is up to you.
